Book Description
Full of heart and festive cheer, this companion to Glenys Nellist's bestselling Little Mole Finds Hope reminds readers that the best Christmas gifts aren't always the ones lying under the tree. It was going to be the best Christmas ever because Little Mole had found the perfect gift for Mama: the biggest, most beautiful mushroom he had ever seen. But on his way home, Little Mole encounters other woodland friends in need. Though it pains him to do so, Little Mole shares pieces of his mushroom with each friend he meets until there's not much left. Disappointed and anxious about what this means for Christmas, Little Mole wraps what's left of the mushroom. He fears Christmas is ruined, but ultimately, Little Mole discovers that his gift was bigger than he ever imagined. Little Mole's Christmas Gift is a companion to Nellist's spring-themed picture book, Little Mole Finds Hope.
